How A Woman's Cycle Affects Her Libido

Here's Everything You Need To Know About Her Period & How It Can Affect Your Sex Life

Would you like to be able to predict the dates when a woman is most likely gagging for it? Believe it or not, it's entirely possible. All it takes is a little bit of research, a calendar and some careful observation, and you will be well on your way to making the most of nature's erotic gifts (and have a much higher chance of knowing when to keep out of the stomping zone of a wild premenstrual woman).

It is proven beyond reasonable doubt that women's sexual desires increase dramatically during (and just after) ovulation. This article describes the best times for sex and how men can make the most of a woman's high times.

What is a period?

A period, with all that ghastly blood and mess, is the result of three weeks' worth of hormone changes in preparation for the reproduction of the species — your offspring, to be exact. These hormone changes affect women in many ways — ways that ultimately affect their libido for better or for worse.

When is the best time to get it on?

The question on all your lips! The short answer is during ovulation when a woman is at her most fertile. The longer answer, which involves what ovulation is and how to pinpoint when it's happening, is as follows.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the process of a healthy egg arriving in the uterus, ready for fertilization. When the egg is in the perfect place for fertilization, the woman's body sends her libido into overdrive. This is the only time during the month that she is fertile, and there is only a 12- to 24-hour period in which she can actually get pregnant. The hormones produced at this time mean she is extra sensitive in all her senses — especially in smell and touch.
